It's a couple of places in the install manual. We have an
online search function for the Debian site. When I tried it for 'modem'
I got 79 hits, and about 65 of those were for different architectures
and versions (slink/potato/woody) of the install manual.
I wonder if we could get a little more sophisticated with our search
results, or maybe our search engine - so the user could pick, if
interested, an architecture / language / release. Or rather than
picking the release, we could just list the most recent docs first.
'Course, we still have to lead the horse to the water...
